	The Tahoe Name Game
		During the 140 years since John C. Fremont's first sighting of the lake on Valentine's Day, 1844, the big blue of this inland sea has been blessed popularly -- if not officially -- with seven different names, and as many more have been publically suggested (same with editorial tongue firmly in cheek) as alternative appellations.
		Yet from the start this name was destined to meet with widespread disfavor, with its most active opponents suggesting that John Bigler, the former democratic governor of California for whom the lake had been named, was less than worthy of such an honor.
		In light of public sentiment and popular usage, it is amazing that the name "Bigler" continued as a legal geographical designation until July 18, 1945 when a bill was adopted in the California State Legislature officially changing the name to "Lake Tahoe".
